Last week at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, the eminent Rev. Herbert Daughtry had a book signing of his latest publication “The Passing of Giants,” and also recalled many legends, including three more notables who joined the ancestors: the Rev. James Lawson, Dr. Nathan Hare, and Dr. Wilson J. Moses. There’s a good chance that all three may be profiled in Rev. Daughtry’s next volume, though Dr. Moses may be missed since to date there has been no widely circulated published obituary.
Ferris’s political seeds were planted in New Haven, CT, where he was born on July 20, 1874 to David Henry Ferris, who fought for the Union in the Civil War, and Sarah Anne Jefferson Ferris. Upon finishing high school, he attended Yale University and fell under the influence and guidance of Professor William G. Sumner, a social darwinist who extended no good graces to the lower, marginalized members of society.
Ferris was highly critical of Booker T. Washington’s accommodationist ideas and expressed his opposition in articles published in thenewspaper, under the editorial direction of William Monroe Trotter. Such an outlook aligned him with W.E.B. Du Bois and the Niagara Movement as well as with the American Negro Academy.
